1 Tropical Storm List Tropical-Storms is a mailing list only for those who are professionally active in either the research or forecasting of tropical storms worldwide. Monsoon is a mailing list for those who are professionally active in the research or forecasting of monsoons worldwide.
2 Tropical Cyclogenesis: Operational Forecasting Perspective International Workshop on Tropical Cyclones Jeju Island, South Korea Working group: Chris Landsea (RSMC Miami), Lixion Avila (RSMC Miami), Thierry Dupont (RSMC La Reunion), S. D. Kotal (RSMC New Delhi), and M. Mohapatra (RSMC New Delhi)
3 Accurate tropical cyclone genesis forecasting is important because of The need to provide extended community response planning, especially in remote or large communities The need to provide advisories at extended forecast ranges for offshore and onshore commercial activities The requirement for National Meteorological Services to manage forecasting and reconnaissance resources The potential to reduce future track, intensity, and size errors by more accurately defining the likely genesis location

7 Within the 2010 IWTC report there was a substantial optimism that genesis forecasting was becoming a solvable problem: Both Ensemble Prediction Systems (EPS) and deterministic Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models were routinely capturing TC formation. Improvement in formation forecasts from operational numerical models were expected given advances in various aspects of numerical weather prediction systems, which includes increased resolution, improved parameterization schemes, and improved use of observations, especially satellite data to improve initial conditions. However, tropical cyclone genesis forecast continued to remain a challenging aspect of operational forecasting in the major tropical forecasting centers, as there was still no effective systematic approach in place for genesis forecasting, especially with respect to NWP guidance.

17 Various Definitions of Tropical Cyclone RSMC La Reunion (Southwestern Indian Ocean) - the maximum of the average wind speed has to be at least 28 kt before a tropical disturbance can be considered a tropical depression. RSMC New Delhi (North Indian Ocean) - 17 kt. RSMC Fiji and TCWCs of the Southeastern Indian Ocean and Southwestern Pacific Ocean) - 34 kt. RSMC Tokyo (Northwest Pacific Ocean)- has no lower bound wind speed threshold
